Something Green!

There are three clumps just like this down the side of my house. OK, gardener-types, what should I do? Leave the mulchiness to keep them warmer for now, right?

And this is the bullseye pothole from the parking lot. Water has such amazing properties... :o)

Icicle Perspective

These are all of the same icicle, from different perspectives.

Out sitting in his field...
Just waiting for the rabbit to run by...

Finally Sunshine!

When the sun finally came out this morning, our entire staff went outside to bow before the bringer of light and happiness and listen as the ice fell in chunks from the powerlines. :) Then I took some photos. :)
A sparkling bush.
Luminous ice...

More Icicles

At the dentist's office... some very cool trees with ice dripping off of them.

Winter in Kansas...

I've been in many ice storms, but I can't remember one where there were icicles on all the trees.

A tree in my front yard that will offer less shade next summer (took these while I was home for lunch):
And a few random icy limbs of the mimosa (took these this morning before I left):
And, of course, couldn't have an ice storm without a windshield shot:

Fun with PhotoShop

This is the first ever image on Sea of Ks that's been PhotoShopped (you really have to blow it up to full size to get the full affect). It's actually a photo of the "ice stalagmite" (which I know is impossible, KC :o) ) in the foreground. I just thought it was funny that there was an "icicle" sticking *up* from the ground. Unfortunately the light wasn't great. Here's the pre-adjustment photo:
I also took a couple of pictures as the ice storm started tonight, but they were mostly black, so here's a second messed with one:

Frosted Sunrise

The last couple of days I've gone out and my car has had wet stuff on it... I remember it vaguely from when I used to live in the Midwest, I think it's called "condensation" or "dew"? :o) Too warm for frost but still wetness on every surface. Today it was frost again, and I have no idea where my scraper is right now, so... While I waited for it to warm up enough, I took some pictures of the sunrise out back.


Then I got bored and started taking them through the frost. Got some cool effects.




Some too cute ones I took of Jac later in the day.

And to keep up the sunset series (Kyle caught me taking the picture):

Crystalline Puddle

Ice in a puddle in my driveway. This one's not cropped or anything, it sprang fully formed from my phone. :)

Another perspective:
